Isobel and Percy Palmer came to Australia from England in 1924, when Millie was 16 years old. They were allocated land on Group 127 Hester Siiding near Bridgetown, Western Australia.

Millie and her husband Bert McRobb were the first to marry from the Catterick Group. This is Milli’s memoir of her parent’s decision to leave Britain, their life in group settlement and beyond.
